If you make a grammar/spelling mistake in your comment and realize later will you edit it to fix it?

Yes! I stopped caring about the edited mark. Why should everything be perfect at the first post? I edit for grammar all the time, fix my phrasing, edit for better flow, add things I forgot to mention, etc.
I'd rather edit to fix my own mistakes than stand firm on making a mistake and thinking it was important to keep the mistake or something.
The typos/mistakes absolutely detract from any points you're trying to make.
One thing I wish Lemmy had is ninja edits, where editing a comment within maybe 30 seconds will not show the edited mark.
Yeah I'm on Tildes and it does this! You get a 5 minute or so grace period. Nice quality of life feature.
Yeah I find most of my mistakes, I notice within the first few minutes!
